Cars in the park (18th April @ Bolton Abbey)

[stainless_steve]

Sorry guys but i'm not going to make it
Just been for a run out and the exhaust is blowing
Got the new one in the garage but there isn't enough time to fit it all .
Sorry to the guy who wanted a spin in the car, next time.I'm sure some of the other people will give you a ride

I'm going to the pub to get
Hope you have a great day out
Steve

Just had a look Nick,it's almost split in half just after the silencer before the bracket.Not going to risk it falling off.
I hope mine will sound extreme when i've fitted the new exhaust

Come on, bring it. I'm bringing a db meter and by the sounds (excuse the pun) of it, you'll win the loudest car competition.

Just got up feeling like se sore throat and full of a cold so I dont think itd be wise to come and spread my germs.

[rev-erend]

Well - I hope the weather was better 'up North' than it's been down 'saft.

Raining on and off nearly all day.

Miserable.

Started the SEAC in me garage and let it run for 5 moins - then turned it off. Miserable day.

How was the meeting ?

[chim_girl]

We were very lucky! It rained all the way there, stopped when we arrived and started again as we left.

Special thanks to Chris for organising the whole event, what a fantastic day.

[TUS 373]

Seconded Jo.

We came back via Skipton and not a drop of rain on the return journey. Infact, the rain wasn't that bad going.

The sun did join us for a while and BBQs were quickly put into operation. A good day out and at an excellent chavscum free venue. I doubt anyone lost any valve caps here. Great selection of cars arrived with something for everyone. Lots of TVRs of course, but also a nice interesting mix of other PH type machines.

Thanks for organising it Chris - I hope you were pleased with the turnout despite how the weather looked this morning.

Aye, very good indeed. Met a whole bunch of new faces (doubt I'll remember the names).

The bbq got a decent run out.

Agreed about the chav free zone, I don't think most people even bothered locking the cars.

Can't make the next one unfortunately but I'm sure I'll make it out on a run or two some other time.

What a great end to a great weekend, had an excellent time and managed to put a few more names to faces, so to everyone, and it was nice meeting you all

I have tons of photos but not sure when I am going to get time to post them all.

Ah, but they are downloaded on to the laptop at home, so I can't access them at work

[chim_girl]

Leave them uploading to Fotano overnight, you can play with them at work tomorrow.

Glad to have your own ID back now?

[the-gofer]

Thanks to everyone I met today for making me feel welcome (especially swindorski for letting me nab a burger & sausage)! I just can't believe I didn't bring my camera - hohum, maybe next time i'll engage brain first....

[chris_crossley]

Hi,

Thanks to everyone, you made the event. Glad everyone enjoyed themselfs. It was nice to speak to new people and catch up with a few of the old TVR gang. (Still don't belive you brought a hammock )

I am just uploading images to the website at the moment. I have about 100 :O.

Given the weather it was a brillient turnout. I look forward to the next one. Hopefully it will be sunny, and we can tempt some more cars out to play. It will be in June on a Sunday again, and more than likley at Bolton Abbey.

Cheers
Chris

I thoughly enjoyed myself. Only burned a few sausages and only TVRBob's better half managed to nibble my nuggets.

Was nice meeting Mr&Mrs Fish, I was a bit shy, so sorry I didn't provide more conversation - as PH celebrities, I was a bit awe-struck

Thanks Chris - great day out.
